MISSOULA BONE & JOINT COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM

Missoula Bone & Joint offers a community outreach program. The mission of this program is to offer free educational seminars and workshops for the community we serve. Topics have included total joint replacement options, lower back pain and the SI joint, bone health and osteoporosis, and running injuries.

We have also offered sports-specific seminars for runners, soccer players, and kayakers. Feedback from these seminars has been very supportive, showing us that there is a need for continued education. Participants have enjoyed the open question and answer time with our providers and the practical sessions with our physical therapists.

If you would like to receive an email about upcoming seminars and our monthly newsletter please sign up below.

For businesses: Another program that we offer is “Knowledge at Noon.” In this program, Missoula Bone & Joint is invited to present at a local business/company to a group of employees during their lunch break. The talk is approximately 45 minutes and employees can bring their lunch and eat while enjoying an informal presentation on injuries, injury prevention, and treatment options. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions.

For schools: School-age children love to learn about their body, what makes up their body, and what happens when they get an injury. This fun and interactive session is tailored to the age of the audience.

"Clean, professional, and attentive MRI experience."

John, Oct 2018

"Superb in all respects. I have been in all specialties; broken foot, bakers cyst on knee, shoulder injury and now a hip replacement. Even the Walk-in clinic is efficient. All the staff are professional and friendly. It is actually a happy place to visit. Dr. LaPorte fixed my shoulder after a fall on the ice, and Dr. Puckett has worked on both my hands. Thank you for such great care!"

Jim O, Nov. 2018

"My husband was treated with such care at the Urgent Care. It was a stressful time and everything went so smoothly. They worked hard to get the paper work needed for the appointment. The PA was so nice and understanding. Thank You!"

Anna Becker, August 2018

"I just wanted to thank Dr. Willstein for the outstanding job he did in replacing my knees in January 2017. I have had no problems and I am so happy the pain is gone. Everyone at Missoula Bone & Joint is to be commended for it's first class service. Thank you all!"

"Awesome experience at Missoula Bone & Joint. Unfortunate basketball injury caused us to be here. Complete ruptured achilles surgery. We were diagnosed in the morning by the doctor and in surgery in the afternoon. Surgical staff is first class .... explained the entire process and we were comforted in a difficult situation. Grateful for wonderful, exceptional healthcare in Missoula, MT."

Paula D, May 2018

"I was in for an MRI last week and always notice how happy folks are at MSO Bone and Joint, I have a chair in each department ... foot, knee, hand, shoulder. We are so fortunate to have such great health care in MSO."

A Frenchtown Family, Feb 2018

"I would like to say that I had a most excellent experience as a PT patient of Bob Botkin over the past few months. His dynamic, receptive, and intuitive approach to therapy was impressive and effective. I appreciate how I would admit to some pain that I was trying to power through, and he could explain why that was hurting me and adapt the therapy to avoid the pain. He has changed my perspective on exercise through said process of being in tune with pain and the biomechanics of my body."

Bradley Applegate, Feb 2018

"Out of 15 surgeries, this was my best experience with physical therapy ever! The whole staff is very friendly and courteous. Kailey and the rest listen to your concerns and are very knowledgable regarding your type of injury and make your rehab fun. I would highly recommend Missoula Bone & Joint P.T. for all your PT. needs."
